That means you are an owner of the chain of stores and have all the rights of an owner. To the OP: Did you vote for the current board members? Have you attended a general meeting of the co-op? You have the power to change their policies through organizing member initiatives. Stop bitching and go for it.

They should take all their profits from running their successful business and donate it to all the mom and pop stores.... Seriously? Whats your point? Also to the other people posting it is not Return Everything Inc. They do have a good return policy but a lot of people get flagged and eventually denied for abusing the return policy.
My point is that both sides of the argument have merit. A secondary point was that the powerful business model that crushes the competition is noticed most by the small businesses being crushed. Like I stated. I'm not sure how I could have made it any more clear. Your straw man fallacy of "you're suggesting they donate all their profits blah blah blah" only works on people that can't identify that you're using the straw man fallacy. |

No, I resent REI because they put myself and friends personally out of business with these wonderful customer friendly policies. I say, since they developed those policies to rule the market, take advantage of them. What the hell is the point of creating a policy that you aren't supposed to use?
And why are you attacking our wonderful mixed market system? Are you a pinko-communist or something? You might want to lay off the Faux news Frank, it's beginning to affect your discourse. |

I don't know your friends but judging from your vitriolic online persona I am personally glad REI put you - personally - out of business. Warms the cockles of me heart, it does.
Hmmm... now how to spend my dividend? |

From the look of it, my vitriolic personality has you once again acting like a jealous hypocritical jackass. I am amazed you own a thesaurus, I am impressed you used it, but I am dismayed at your inability to form a coherent argument. I know pseudo-therapists don't like to seek help, but you honestly might need it. |

I am jealous of...? No, I just think you're a useless dick. Ain't nothing too complex 'bout it. I hope you have found some other customer service venue in which to show off your winning personality. |

I was more tying that back into Randy W.'s butterface barista experience. YOu know anything about that? Hmmmm?
I barista'd at one point myself. We all slum at some point. |

The useless dick is the deformed one swinging between your legs and your proclivity towards bestiality might be the cause. Like I said, you really need help.
As for the new venue of customer service, I now work at REI. Come on down and I will help you spend your dividend on more crap that makes you feel better. |

Whatever gets you off, bub.
I don't really believe anything you say, but I sincerely do hope you work at REI. Thanks for your offer but I don't need any help right now. I'm just browsing. |
